RCMP in Penticton were called to a noisy party Saturday night and ended up finding more than they expected.

On August 23rd around 11:24 p.m. RCMP received a report of a loud party at the Highland Motel located at 1140 Burnaby Avenue. When police arrived they spotted a sawed off shotgun inside the motel room. Three people were immediately arrested for possession of a prohibited weapon and one of them was found to have an outstanding warrant.

Police went on to search the motel room and found other weapons, a large quantity of MDMA, other illicit and prescription drugs, cash and a stolen bicycle. RCMP also found paraphernalia consistent with drug trafficking in the room. A 35 year old Penticton man was released without charges while a 33 year old Penticton woman was held on the outstanding warrant.

Darcy Emil LENKO, 50, has been charged with Possession of a Prohibited Weapon, Possession of a Firearm Contrary to Order, Possession of a Firearm with Altered Serial Number, Possession of Stolen Property, and Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking. He has been held in custody and is scheduled to appear in Court on August 26, 2014.
